View answerI have met members of the board and staff of the National Roads Authority, NRA, on a number of occasions since taking up office as Minister for Transport. I met with the entire board on 10 May 2004.
There is very regular correspondence and liaison between my Department and the NRA in relation to the national roads programme including, in particular, in relation to the drawdown of grants, progress in the implementation of the national roads programme both overall and at regional and project level, NRA staffing and future planning of the roads development programme.
